    Hi people

    You all know the situation where someone steps up and
    asks for something different, OR funkier, OR mainstream OR anything
    else than you are playing.

    My answer to that : Sure - let me just check.

    My solution to that (prepare at home):

    Pick out a whitelabel from your collection.
    Grab a nice pen and on the label write;
    Something different OR something funkier OR.....
    imagination can run wild here, but basically you can
    adjust to the situation in a nice humourous way by
    showing the jerk in front of you the answer to his
    question.........

    Dj Wax, Cph
